OFF file format and or conversion routines

[hughes at s1.msi.umn.edu]

Hi,

  I've been using geomview a bit.  Very nicely done.
I've been trying to import some objects into geomview,
but am having limited success.

Here's some things I've tried:

  I can't get geomview to read in pixar output from the vcs 
program from the goemetry center.  My guess here is that
pixar and .rib files are different, is this correct.  If so
is there a newer version of vcs which has output compatible
to geomview?

  I've also tried to import some .off files I have, but after
looking though the documentation a bit, I'm not sure that
your OFF and the standard .off files (both named object
file format) are compatible.  Am I correct?  I have a large
database of .off objects.  If not, I can convert them, but
I just thought I might be doing something wrong.
